I've never understood the stereotype of black people liking fried chicken and watermelon. Not that I don't think we do. Just that as far as I can tell a lot of people from every demographic do. It's not like either of those is foods you're only likely to find in a soul food market or something. There are way more afrocentric foods to make a stereotype about so why about two foods that are rather universally liked? And I know you're just making fun of the stereotype not thinking that way yourself, chris.
